Boaz Weinstein warns of private credit’s “financial alchemy,” says problems are multiplying by the quarter

Saba and Cox Capital Management launched a tender offer to buy shares in a Blue Owl non-traded private credit fund at a 34.9% discount. The steep discount signals material secondary-market liquidity/valuation stress for the fund and could raise concerns about asset quality or redemption dynamics in similar private credit vehicles. Impact is likely limited to the fund/sector rather than broad markets, but warrants monitoring of secondary pricing and potential mark-to-market updates.
